A person of extraordinary intellect, foresight and determination, Tara is a master stateswoman, both before and after she marries Vali and is crowned the queen of Kishkindh. But her wisdom and stature cannot stand in the way of destiny. Tara finds herself caught in a battle of egos between the two brothers and reduced to a victor's trophy. However, in this time of conflict, she resourcefully restores peace and prosperity in the kingdom she helped build, even if it means sacrificing everything.
Kavita Kané, in her latest recounting of the Ramayana, narrates the tale of Tara's truce-the compromises Tara made to fulfil her divinely ordained purpose, including marrying her husband's killer.
Her journey began as a journalist, with twin post-graduation degrees in English literature as well as mass communication and journalism from the University of Pune. With a career spanning over two decades, working with Magna Publishing and DNA, she eventually quit her job as an assistant editor at the Times of India to devote herself to writing full-time. Passionate about theatre, cinema and the arts, she is also a columnist, screenplay writer and a motivational speaker.
She currently lives in Pune with her husband, two daughters, two dogs and an uncurious cat.
Was she a widow or a bride? The sorrow in her heart was crushing her. It was her wedding day today-just a week after her husband had been killed. And she was to wed the man who had been responsible for her husband's death. She was to marry her husband's brother. Sugriv. Vali's brother. Vali's killer.
As she sat on her bed in her palace chamber, she couldn't bear looking at the jewellery that was laid out for her. The gems in the jewellery blinked at her, mocking her inability to chart the course of her own fate. Her face was pale. Her amber eyes were dry, already spent from mourning over the future that lay ahead and reminiscing about the life that had been.
